PRIOR TO START-UP
Carry out the following operations before
starting the pump:
1. Remove the pre-filter cap by unscrewing
the nut holding it in place.
2. Fill the pump with water through the
pre-filter until it rises up through the
suction pipe.
3. Should the basket be removed during
these operations.
4. Check that the mains voltage and
frequency correspond with those indicated
on the pump characteristics plate.
Fit the pre-filter cap and screw on tight, not
forgetting to fit the seal in its housing.
The pumps must not be run without water.
Where this is not the case, the mechanical
gasket may be damaged, leading to a loss of
water.
Check that the motor rotates in the correct
direction by means of the fan located at the
back of the motor that can be seen through
the view hole on the fan cover.
START-UP
Open all the valves and connect the motor.
Clean the pre-filter basket regularly to avoid
drops in pressure. To prevent the basket from
breaking, do not hit it during the cleaning
process.
Should the pump stop, check that
consumption of the running motor in
amperes is equal to or below that indicated
on the manufacturer’s characteristics plate.
Empty the pump if it is to remain at a
standstill for a certain length of time,
especially in cold countries where there is a
risk of freezing.
Remove the purge cap (10) to empty the
pump.
Every time the pre-filter is opened, clean
the seal and its seating of any impurities to
ensure airtightness.
Pump components that, due to their
normal use, suffer wear and/or tear must
be regularly replaced to ensure good pump
performance. The following table shows the
perishables consumables used in the pump
and their estimated working life.
